ON THE COVER...

The 1857 S-9 '"Obverse clashed with a Seated Liberty Half Dollar obverse"
is one of the all-time favorite varieties in the entire US coinage series. To this
day, the enigmatic clash marks - though widely known and sought after - evade
detection by even the most skilled catalog writer. The cover shows a superim-
posed image of the half dollar (reversed) over the Flying Eagle cent.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

by Larry Steve, President

The A.NA/s 107th annual convention will soon
be underway in Portland, Ore. As with past shows, Fm
sure that it promises to be just as rewarding. I had pre^
viously written that another convention (the FUN
Show) always provides the opportunity to get together
with fellow members of the C\ub\ and that you may be
able to locate that elusive Flying Eagle or Indian cent
you’ve been trying to find for some time. The A.N A.
Convention is no different. The one aspect that I do
find appealing about the ANA. Convention over the
FUN Show is: The AN. A, Convention is generally held in a different city from
year to year. Last year, the site was New York City; this year, it’s Portland. Not
only am I able to meet with other Club members who are unable to travel across
the country to attend, but I also have the opportunity to stop by the table of some
dealer who likewise may not undertake the expense to attend a show across the
county. Thus, I am able to look at material that is new to me. Fm looking for-
ward to this year’s convention and the chance to visit the sites of Portland.

The Fly-In Club’s annual general meeting will also take place at the AN. A.
convention. Our meeting is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 7, at 10:30 a. m. in room
B 177 at the convention center. At the meeting, we will announce the recipient
of the 1997 '7im Johnson Literary Award” for best article written during the year,
as voted upon by our members. I will be making a few announcements with
regard to a membership enrollment incentive program for our State
Representatives, and suggest some other measures to stimulate greater interest in
our Club and the Ledger. We will also discuss the completed publication of the
Club’s ‘Attribution Files.” This will be an important meeting and I hope to see
many of you there.

The Fly-In Club Attribution Files, ‘A-Files”, is now available. The book
contains more than 500 different listed die varieties. Some dates, such as 1889
and 1907, have 30 or more listings each. It is, by far, the most comprehensive
listing of Flying Eagle and Indian Cent die varieties to date. I would remind you,
the members, that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the ‘A-Files” goes
directly to the general operating account of the Fly-In Club. I encourage each of
you to support the Club and purchase a copy for your library. The book is cur-
rently available from Rick Snow, J.T. Stanton and myself.

As a further commentary on the A-Files, I believe it should be part of the
mission of the Club to endeavor to identify all die varieties and not simply those
that may have some market interest. We should separate research from this mar-
keting aspect and let the collector decide what he or she may be interested in.
There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of die varieties yet to be discovered,

ANNOUNCEMENTS

***ANNUAL CLUB MEETING***

The Fly-In Club will hold its annual club meeting at the A.N.A. Convention
which is to be held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Ore. The time
and date of the meeting is set for Friday, Aug. 7, at 10:30 a.m. in room B 117.

***Thanks, Doug!***

This issue of Longacre's Ledger contain Douglas Hill’s last article for us.
For the past 7 years he’s given his time to the Fly In Club. He started and wrote
“How Many Are There, Anyway? And, for the past few years he’s given to us
“Late Date Indian Cent Varieties”. In the fall, he’ll be pursuing his master’s degree
in History at Brown University. We wish him the best of luck. Thank you, Doug!

*^*SOUTH CAROLINA STATE REPRESENTATIVE***

Jerry Sajbel of South Carolina has volunteered to represent the Fly-In Club
in his home state. Jerry is an active collector of all denominations and is currently
serving as president of the Charlotte Coin Club. Jerry’s address appears in the
Information on State Representatives section located on page 23 in this issue. We
welcome him on board.

***KENTUCKY STATE REPRESENTATIVE OPENING ***

The Kentucky State Representative, Bill Weikel, has resigned from his
position as he is no longer active in the hobby. Any member wishing to volunteer
to fill this position should contact W.O, Walker, PO Box 2221 , Wilton, NY 12831 .

President’s Letter, continued

and the opportunity for any one individual to make a discovery and be recorded
as such in the A-Files should be encouraged. This is a mission that will ensure
much future activity for the Club. As to the crediting of individuals for discov-
eries, we should be certain that they are properly acknowledged. I recently
received a nice letter, accompanied with a reproduced photo, from Club member
Bob Tagen who resides in New Hampshire. It appears that Bob bad previously
reported the 1865 Fancy 5 S-I4 variety to Rick some time ago. I assured Bob that
I would bring this to Rick’s attention and publish this correction in the Ledger.
This particular variety has been dubbed the “Half Moon” variety and could be
the name of an Indian warrior or squaw, Fm sure there’s a story somewhere.

I’ll close for now. Hope to see you in Portland.

Until the next issue...

Re: "MPD" is a Trade Mark of Kevin Flynn

Dear Vicky,

I just wanted to let you know that ’^MPD" is a Trade Mark of Kevin Flynn.
I have filed this mark as a trademark of Kevin Flynn at the Patent
and Trademark Office.

Anyone who wishes to use my trademark "MPD", in Longacre's Ledger,
needs written permission from Kevin Flynn first.

Thanks, please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

A REPLY FROM LARRY STEVE, PRESIDENT OF THE FLY-IN CLUB

I am in receipt of a copy of your e-mail to Vicki Draughn, editor of
Longacre’s Ledger, sent on Monday, May 18, 1998, in which you claim that
''MPD” is a trademark of Kevin Flynn. You further assert that anyone who
wishes to use the term first needs your written permission, A copy of your e-
mail is enclosed herewith. As president of the Fly-In Club, I am writing to you
in response to your claim.

First, we challenge the validity of your claim that "MPD” is a trademark
of Kevin Flynn and that you "filed this mark as a trademark of Kevin Flynn at
the Patent and Trademark Office.” Accordingly, we demand evidence of such
filing in the form of a copy of your application submitted.

Second, there is no evidence that you have every used the alleged "MPD”
trademark in commerce. Accordingly, and after consultation with legal counsel,
we strongly believe that the term "MPD” cannot be registered as a trademark.

Third, as you well know, I, myself, gave definition to the term "misplaced
date” and its corresponding acronym “MPD” in the Summer 1993 issue of
Longacre's Ledger, as so acknowledged in the Introduction to your book on the
very subject matter. I consider your claim to be an affront to me personally.

Fourth, if in the event you have actually submitted an application for
trademark with the Patent and Trademark Office, we will vigorously oppose
your application and submit a formal "Filing of Opposition,”

In addition, the term "MPD” is a generic term as an acronym for "mis-
placed dates” and is part of the general numismatic lexicon. This term has been
in use for several years now and has appeared hundreds of times in various
numismatic publications; it is part of the public domain. Accordingly, and again
after consultation with legal counsel, we strongly believe that the term "MPD”
cannot be copyrighted.

Finally, until such time as you are able to prove your claim and secure a
registered trademark (if at all, which we doubt), we do not recognize your claim
of trademark and we will continue to use the term "MPD” whenever and wher-
ever we please.

Sincerely,

Larry R. Steve, President

LATE DATE INDIAN CENT VARIETIES

by Douglas W. Hilt

Fly-In Club Life Member

This will be my last column for Longacre's Ledger. Looking back, it has
been seven great years. In 1991, I started the column “How Many Are There,
Anyway?” in order to keep census data for the major doubled dies and repunched
dates. At that time, the Fly-In Club was less than a year old and varieties were
just beginning to catch fire, Jerry Wysong quite ably took over that column in
1994 so that I could write the present column about die marriages.

I am interested in die marriages because I am a cherrypicker at heart. Today,
90 plus percent of all Indian cent die marriages are almost totally ignored. Some
of these die marriages, particularly the rare ones, will be actively searched for in
the future. How do I know? T just look at what is happening among collectors of
late date large cents (which were hubbed just like the Indian cents). The rare
large cent die marriages sell for thousands of dollars in high grade!

Now, what do the large cent collectors know that we don’t? Are they
smarter than us? I think that the answer to the second question is a decided, no.
However, they have had attribution books to study for about 20 years which
unlock the secrets to finding the rare die marriages. That is why I wrote a book
about die marriages from 1886 Type 2 - 1889 and will finish another covering
1890, 1892, 1894 and 1908-S in August. Together, the two books provide a foun-
dation which will give the Indian cent collector a leg up in the search for those
rare ones still out there. I can promise you from my own experience that identi-
fying die marriages does get easier with practice. Yet, there is no getting around
the fact that anything worth striving for in this world does take a little bit of
effort.

In the fall, I will study for a second master’s degree, this time in History at
Brown University. I am very interested in doing research about Abraham
Lincoln, and Brown has one of the finest collections of Lincoln documents in the
country. My work in Indian cent die marriages is now over. However, I will
watch patiently for the next person willing to take my unfinished efforts to the
next step.

1864/1864 (nw),

Obv, 20: (B) Minor
repunching visible mostly
inside the loops of the 8 and
6 and on the right of the
upright of the 4. A die line in
the denticles is visible under
the 4 (similar to S8). A small
die line is visible sticking
out of the denticles directly
under the left edge of the
base of the 1 . These are pos-
sibly date punch position
markers.

Rev, AN: A die crack is visible from the rim at 3:30 to the wreath.
Attributed to: Tom Reblin

The interesting thing about this vaiiety is the date position markers.

Obv. 15: (RE) A circular
die line is visible from the L
in LIBERTY to base of the
last feather.

from the rim at 4:00 onto the

which has been updated as follows:

1868 S8

Multiple MPDs.

Obv. 10: (C) Extra 8 in denticles between 6 and 8. Lines in denticles below
86 may be additional digits. Diagonal die line through the base of the eye. Early

1883 SIO

1883/3 (s), defective digit punch.

Obv. 15 (LE) Slight repunch-
ing visible at the base of the 3.

Defective 3 digit punch looks like

same as S3, S4. Compare repunch-
ing with S3. Date slightly right of
the bust point.

above the 8, which may fade
in later die stages. Die dot on

1897/897 (e).

Obv. 18: (LH) Light
repunching visible at the base
of the 897. A vertical die line

HIGH-GRADE INDIAN CENTS - ARE THERE
MORE REDS THAN RED/BROWNS?

by Vernon Sebby
Fly -In Club M74

The Other day, I was looking at the PCGS Population Report, October 1997
edition, and I noticed an interesting bit of information. Of the approximately
21 ,900 bronze Indian Cents graded by PCGS, only 39 were slabbed as MS-66RB,
with none higher. This does not seem logical to me as all bronze coins, even ones
preserved so well as to be considered MS-66, tend to turn brown with age.

I pulled out my Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection,
by PCGS, and I went through it again, looking for any different set of standards
for Red coins as opposed to Red/Brown coins. The Guide did not give any indi-
cation that grading standards were different based on color or toning, although in
the color designations section, PCGS gave a line or two on what type of mellow-
ing of color would be allowed for red coins to make grades 69/70 or 67/68, In the
red-brown section, they only commented on what might be allowed to reach an
MS/PR 67 grade.

I sent an e-mail to PCGS asking if they could give me any insight into why
there would be so many more high-grade reds than red/browns, and if there was
a different set of standards for the two. TPs only been a couple of months, but Pve
yet to receive any response.

A couple of years ago, I was discussing high-grade Indian Cents with a deal-
er who specializes in them and he stated that PCGS wouldn’t grade an Indian
above MS-66 unless it was full red. The population report numbers back him up,
even though PCGS’s grading guide doesn’t make a distinction. A further look at
the same population report numbers for mint state Lincoln cents, confirm the
anomaly. There is a total of only 91 Lincoln cents graded MS-66 RB, with a mere
18 higher. There are 5,357 Lincoln cents graded MS-66 Red, with 993 higher. To
confuse the matter further, tlie same population report shows 500 Lincolns graded
MS -66 Brown, with 288 higher. A table of these numbers makes the issue clearer:

THE FLYING EAGLE CHRONICLES™

The 1858-SL DOUBLE DIE REVERSES

The earliest published articles attempting to provide a comprehensive list-
ing of the die varieties of the 1857 and 1858 Flying Eagle Cents were four arti-
cles by Commodore W.C. Eaton published in The Numismatist in the period from
January 1916 to May 192E In reading these articles, one is impressed by the
number of different varieties identified by Eaton for the two-year regular series.

Eaton's methodology was to use uncirculated and about-uncirculated pieces
to examine for varieties. These were readily available following the turn of the
century at a price of about $0.50 each (retail price in J,W. Scotfs Standard Coin
Catalogue No. 2, 1913 Edition), and Eaton and his colleagues, David Proskey
and F.R. Alvord, examined about 2,000 pieces in the course of their research.
Although this was a grand undertaking at that time in numismatic history, the
research was based on too small of a sample to adequately cover the subject mat-
ter. “New” and better defined varieties have been attributed in this decade.

Several years ago, this author set upon
the quest of attempting to currently identify
the Eaton varieties and to determine if the
pieces would be categorized as “varieties”
by today's standards. This project was
expanded to an attempt to identify ail of the
significant die varieties of the two-year
series, which at this time appears to be
headed in the same direction as Ponce de
Leon's search for the fountain of youth.

Previously unattributed varieties are being
discovered on a regular basis.

The author’s initial research started
with the 1858 Small Letters type because
this type had few significant varieties and
the search might lead to “new varieties.”

This proved to be the case in that an early
discovery was the double die reverse cou-
pled with an obverse with a repunched date.

This variety is attributed as Snow 2. The
reverse exhibits Class III doubling, Design
Hub Doubling, with the die being

impressed with hubs of different designs. In this case, a hub bearing a closed “E”
of “ONE” was impressed over an initial hubbing with an open “E” of “ONE”
(see photo, previous page). This discovery caused the author to more closely
examine the reverses of numerous Small Letter types, and in so doing, this result-
ed in finding many different Class HI reverses.

Apparently, for a period of time in the
die-making process of the Small Letter
type, hubs with different designs were used
interchangeably. This resulted in dies of
opposite of Snow 2 with the open “E” of
“ONE” being impressed over the closed
“E” of “ONE” (see photo). This die also
exhibits a tripled die on the inside of the
right base of the “N” of “ONE”. The
tripling appears to be Class II doubling in
that this is not a universal chai'acteristic of
dies with the open “E” over the closed “E”.
A similar die with the open “E” over the
closed “E” is described in Flying Eagle
and Indian Cent Die Varieties as FND~00 1 .

Similar multiple doubling appears in
different letters on different dies. An
extremely rare variety with the closed “E”
over the open “E” shows doubling at the
base of the “0” of “ONE” and tripling at the
left base of the “N” on
“ONE” (see photo). This
die has been attributed as
Snow 5.

OPEN "E" OVER CLOSED “E”

1858-SL SNOW-5

21

Longacre’s Ledger

Of the various fonts used for the ‘T” of ‘‘ONE” on the Small Letters type,
at least three appear in the double die reverses; the closed “E” with the sharply
pointed outside members close, but not touching; the open “E” with pointed out-
side members; and the open “E” with blunt outside members or “blocked” style
“E”.

The total number of different double die reverses is currently unknown. The
author has identified over a dozen different dies as of the date of this writing, and
it is very likely that more will be discovered. The number discovered so far
would indicate that the procedures used in the die-making process did not segre-
gate the font styles on the hubs; so, as many as five percent or more of the dies
used on the Small Letters type may be a double die. Only further research will
provide the answer.

At present, the 1858 Small Letters double die varieties are too new in attri-
bution to have an identifiable market. In fact, many of the varieties have not been
attributed. For cherry pickers, now is the time to add these to your collection
without any premium. As to rarity, the varieties that show doubling only on the
“E” of “ONE” may be readily found with some diligent searching. The varieties
showing multiple doubling on other letters are extremely rare, and in time, these
should command a significant premium.

My thanks to Chris Pilhod for his technical support.

WANTED TO BUY: VARIETIES

I am a serious collector of varieties — primarily repunched dates , overdates ,
and doubled dies. I prefer VF or better (full LIBERTY). Paying 5 to 50 per-
cent over CDN Bid, depending upon condition and type of variety.

THEF.IND.ERS™ REPORT

SUBTITLE: An 1873 Open 3 with a Closed 3 in Bust?! Part 3

by Larry Steve
Fly-In Club Life Member

In this issue j the last of a three-part study, I will provide an in-depth analy-
sis of whether the 3 in the bust is an Open 3 or a Closed 3, My prelinainary
assessment, present in part one, centered just on the size and shape of the knob.
A more definitive approach would employ the use of overlays. Before I begin,
there are two important aspects to consider.

The first important aspect is that the 3 digit of the date is not in an upright
position as one would normally expect. However, finding a misplaced 3 in the
bust is hardly a normal occurrence. After studying the coin, and utilizing some
overlays, the 3 appears to be rotated as illustrated below with the arrows point-
ing to those portions of the 3 which are visible:

ILLUSTRATION NO. 1

It’s quite possible that the 3 digit of the date
was intentionally punched in the location found;
or, perhaps, the date punch was simply dropped.
Regardless of how this occurred, the second
important aspect to note is that a portion of the
digit (the lower knob of the 3) became impressed
into the field, whereas another portion of the digit
(part of the lower right curve of the 3) became
impressed into the lower side of the bust point
itself. The significance of this is that the date punch, and in particular the 3 digit,
was tilted. In effect, a part of the date punch was literally in a “hole” on the die
as illustrated below:

ILLUSTRATION NO. 2

The use of the overlays is a technique which involves a microphotograph
of the area under study with a transparency of the suspected element. In this case,
we would use a photo of the bust point encompassing the area around the first
bead on the necklace; the transparency would simply be a single digit 3 from the
date. Actually, we would need two transparencies — one of an Open 3 and the
other of a Closed 3. These transparencies are created by first taking a micropho-
tograph of the suspected element and then tracing it on a clear translucent sheet.
Keep in mind that both microphotographs (that of the area under study and that
of the suspected element) should be of the same magnification. The transparen-
cy is then simply placed over the microphotograph of the area under study. By
moving the transparency around we can determine if there is a match. And again
in this case, we would first use that of an Open 3 and then that of a Closed 3 to
determine which date punch was used to impress the 3 in the bust.

Guess what? The initial attempts at using overlays would seem to suggest
that the 3 in the bust is neither an Open 3 nor a Closed 3 from a date punch used
on 1873 Indian cents! How can this be? Was another date punch used? One for a
different denomination? Something must be wrong. Let me rethink this matter.

When we take into consideration the two important aspects mentioned
above, the problem is not in the use of overlays but how they are used. A photo-
graph is a two-dimensional object; so is a transparency. When the transparency
is placed over the photograph, there’s no depth. The coin itself, however, is a
three-dimensional object. And, as illustrated earlier, the date punch was tilted
when it came in contact with the die — this, too, is a three-dimensional aspect.
Also, if a date punch is tilted, there’s bound to be some distortion of the digits
when punched into a die.

Going back to illustration no. 2, we note that the knob of the 3 was higher
as a result of coming in contact with the field. If we were to lift the knob of the
3 on the overlay away from the photograph (leaving the lower right curve in con-
tact with the photo), we might be able to create a three-dimension affect. After
trying this approach with both the Open 3 and the Closed 3 overlays, I get a much
better match with the Closed 3. It’s very close, not perfect, but very, very close.
Further considering that there would be some distortion in the digit due to the
date punch being tilted, I am satisfied that the 3 in the bust is that of a Closed 3.

In closing, I’d like to give a special thanks to I.T. Stanton for providing both
the photographs and the overlays used in this part of the study. Unselfish acts
such as his can only further advance the hobby.

HOW MANY ARE THERE, ANYWAY?

DOTlBTvE DIES

by Jerry Wysong

Hope your Independence Day was great and your Labor Day is happy and
filled with family and friends*

The big spring ANA show in Cincinnati was indeed a busy, busy show; with
a large attendance all three days* It was a big improvement after the poor turnout
last year in Cleveland, I hope Portland does well in August. It was a nice touch
for the ANA staff to personally serve a hot dog and brats style buffet to the deal-
ers in attendance during the Wednesday night set up. For those of us who don’t
really know the staff members, it was really nice to put a face with a name, like
Barb Gregory, the Numismatist editor. Rick Snow was anxiously awaiting deliv-
ery of the first issues of the Attribution Files addendum. Fifty copies finally
arrived and I was able to acquire one, hot off the presses so to speak. Saturday at
the ANA saw a very large number of young people on the bourse floor as part of
the merit badge activity for both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. These young-
sters showed a genuine interest and enthusiasm which was very refreshing; I
hope it stays with them. Obviously, I enjoyed it as much as they seemed to. The
one negative aspect was to see the number of ‘"investor” dealers who violated
their ANA contracts by packing up as early as 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon and
vacating the bourse. If only they had some of the kids' enthusiasm.

The Centra] States show in Milwaukee and the PAN show in Pittsburgh
were both excellent shows and well attended with a lot of activity. The Michigan
State show in Lansing was very poorly attended like nobody cared. Areal sleep-
ing event. I hate to say it; but the highlight of the Michigan State show was the
riot in East Lansing by the MSU students protesting the ban on beer at tailgate
parties. Worse yet, the riot took place just around the comer from my hotel and I
slept through it all. Milwaukee is another story; I really enjoyed the micro-brew-
ery’s liquid offerings. But the real highlight of this show was an estate auction
about 15 miles away, in Waukeegan, as I recall. The auction contained many,
many nice high grade proof and strike coins, including a set of proof Indians.
Many dealers left the bourse on Saturday to attend the auction. I saw some of the
coins after the auction, and they were nice.

My thanks to all of you who have contributed to the Census. It's you who
make it all possible. My mailing address is: P.O. Box 292561, Dayton, Ohio
45429. My e-mail address is jiwysong@erinet.com . I hope to see some of you
at the Blue Ridge show in Dalton, Georgia, August 21-23,
